CORPUS CHRISTI - The preschool set’s favorite red furry character Elmo takes the stage of American Bank Center Selena Auditorium on March 2 and 3 for another rendition of Sesame Street Live.

In its 30th year, the production’s theme this time around is “1-2-3 Imagine! With Elmo and Friends.”

The show will feature Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Big Bird and other Sesame Street favorites as they tour the world using their imaginations in this Broadway-style musical designed to show kids that they can do amazing things with the power of their imaginations. The fun begins when Sesame-Street’s mail carrier Sam delivers postcards from far-away places, and Elmo and the crew are inspired to imagine themselves touring the world.

Ernie sails the high seas on the Good Ship Rubber Duckie and dances to the drumbeat of the African rainforest, while Bert helps an octopus with the blues. Pint-size fans will sing along to favorite songs such as “I Don’t Want to Live on the Moon,” “She’ll be Comin’ Round the Mountain” and “Surfin’ Safari.”
